Sometimes seeing is believing. That’s why we can provide on-site demonstrations of a variety of exercises including yoga, Zumba and others.

We offer presentations on the benefits of massage and team them with on-site "chair" massage and/or on-site full-body massage by appointment.

Diabetes Management Program

Diabetes can be dangerous if not properly managed. We educate employees on the signs, symptoms, and dangers of diabetes, as well as new treatment methods.

Walking Program

Walking is the simplest and most sustainable physical activity people can do to help improve heart health. Our nurses help establish regular programs, goals, and coaching.

Smoking Cessation Program

Quitting smoking is one of the fastest ways to improve cardiovascular health. Our nurses can provide employees with on-site assistance using highly successful techniques.

Losing weight is on most people's get-healthy to-do list. WorkWell offers a variety of on-site weight-related programs for groups or individuals, including specific health assessments, screenings and diet counseling.

"Lunch & Learn" Educational Lectures

We can provide informative presentations at business locations, covering a range of topics including heart health, nutrition, stress management, fitness and more.

Exercise Consultation

With every hour of regular exercise, we can gain almost two hours of life expectancy. We work with your employees individually or in a group setting to discuss health and fitness goals, and how to reach them through regular exercise. Experts assist them with lifestyle modifications, suggestions, and training.

Workplace Stretching Program

Regular stretching can help prevent many common workplace injuries. Our five-minute workplace-stretching program covers all major muscle groups that are linked with soft tissue injuries. It’s a simple effort that can help your employees stay healthy and save you in injury claims and lost time.
